Promat announced that it has launched a new digital portal to allow for an accurate design of passive fire protection systems at the earliest stage in a project.
The company said the basic version of the portal, MyPromat, has been designed to give architects and specifiers the information and design capabilities needed to identify and design correct systems for built-in fire protection.
Architects and specifiers signing up for the advanced MyPromat+ platform, are able to access design tools, including BIM and CAD files.
Built-in performance calculators can also be used within the portal in to help to identify the level of protection needed, Promat noted.
Nigel Morrey, technical director at Promat UK, said: “Passive fire protection is a critical part of the safety of any building and is a driving force for the Building Safety Act. Choosing the right passive fire protection systems and products at the earliest stage is vital, and rightly so, but this can be confusing and time consuming without specialist support.
“Importantly, we wanted to create a trail so all parties involved can show the building meets safety standards and supports the transparency needed for the golden thread, and throughout the lifetime of the building. This is where MyPromat+ comes in.”
